This game against the Seahawks was a clear reflection of just what we’ve been talking about here lately at CBE regarding the weakness in our coaching staff. The O-Line played well enough to win holding Seattle to only one sack (the same defensive that dropped Aaron Rodgers 8 times in one half of play). The... Read more »

As everyone reviewed this years schedule, it was a far-gone conclusion that the Bears would beat the Minnesota Vikings today. In fact, everyone also knew that the purple men’s early season promise would quickly turn to disappointment. The only bright spot that remains is the continued improvement of RB Adrian Peterson who has shown an amazing... Read more »

In this game there was no doubt what-so-ever that nothing has changed regarding our offensive line. In fact, Cutler got better blocking with help from TE’s and RB’s on blitz plays. When Carolina rushed 4 down linemen (which they did most of the game) our 5 guys could not stop them which resulting in 6... Read more »

As we have seen many times before, the Bears seem to show up in big games against good teams. This time it was on the road against Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. This game was significant from the standpoint of where the Dallas Cowboys stand statistically in the season at... Read more »

The debacle in Green Bay, the laugher at Lambeau, however you want to characterize it comes down to people being who we thought they were. Those people are; J’Marcus Webb, Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, and/or the Bears coaching staff. Now to put things into proper perspective, I don’t totally agree with some of the chatter... Read more »

Yes, I had to ask that loaded question. Because the answer is 1986 (the after the Bears won SB XX). In the 1986 opener, Chicago bum-rushed the Cleveland Browns in a 41-31 victory. In the 1985 opener, the Bears put up 38 points in a come-from-behind win over the TB Bucs. In both seasons, the... Read more »

This Sunday the Bears will open their 2012 season at home against the “new-look” Indy Colts with rookie QB Andrew Luck starting for the horseshoes. What took me by surprise however was the fact that J’Marcus Webb will be starting at LT. This is a mistake… As Bill and I have said openly (among many... Read more »

Usually we don’t take pleasure in being on the serving end of the old phrase “We Told You So!”, but this is a new experience. Bill and I (as we wrapped-up season 2011) agreed in unison the both Jerry Angelo and Mike Martz were the two who needed to be gone along with a few... Read more »

The Bears have narrowed their GM search down to 2 finalists: Phil Emery & Jason Licht Tonight, join Bill and I (for another session of “Chicago Bears Extra”) as we discuss this “Hot-Topic” and breakdown season 2011, and the prospects for a better year in 2012. The Overall Show Agenda Will Be As Follows: Whose... Read more »

Not longer ago during one of our shows “Chicago Bears Extra”, we mentioned Jim Caldwell as a potential successor to the now retired Mike Martz. Well, the Raiders have shown interest in newly promoted OC Mike Tice, and Caldwell is looking for work. Earlier this week, Caldwell was relieved of his head coaching duties in... Read more »
